Why is it always the boss who gets slapped in the face

Chapter 23 Father

After finishing the examination, Father Chen lay on the hospital bed with his eyes squinted.

The attending doctor was in his 40s and was a very steady man. He was explaining things to the nurse when a man came in a panic. The doctor turned his head and gave him a wary look.

"I'm Chen Jianfeng, he's my father." When Chen Jianfeng was talking, he couldn't stop looking at his father. It's been half a month since his father lost weight. His sunken eye sockets were black and red. Chen Jianfeng had a lot to say Ask, he wanted to go home and take a look at it at first, but Dad came to S city in person. At that time, Dad was in good spirits and could eat and drink. Unexpectedly, after just half a month, he saw Dad on the hospital bed .

"Come." The doctor patted Chen Jianfeng, motioned to go out and said.

Father Chen spoke at this moment.

"Jianfeng..."

Chen Jianfeng held his hand: "Hey, Dad."

Father Chen turned his head and squinted at his son: "Why are you here?"

"Dad, I just arrived."

"move."

Chen Jianfeng smiled and said, "How can there be any reason to drive people away when you first arrive? Wouldn't it be good if I come to accompany you?"

"Let's go." Father Chen still said the same thing.

"Okay, tell me, where am I going?"

"Let's go." Father Chen pointed to the empty wall, "Look, it's already 03:30. If you don't leave, the basketball game will be too late."

Chen Jianfeng: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Father Chen fumbled on the quilt: "Where is my mobile phone?"

Chen Jianfeng stuffed his mobile phone into his hand.

Father Chen squeezed his phone and closed his eyes in a daze: "You go first, I'll go over and take pictures for you later..."

The doctor stood by and waited for a while, then said softly, "He fell asleep."

Chen Jianfeng rubbed his eyes and followed the doctor out.

In the dream, Father Chen returned to his son’s rental house. Chen Jianfeng hurried out with an apple in his mouth, but Father Chen was holding his mobile phone to look for a charger. After a long time, I suddenly slapped my head and remembered that I forgot the charger at home.

So, take it home?

Father Chen put his phone in his pocket, opened the door and walked into the sunshine...

Father Chen opened his eyes and saw his precious son with red eyes.

"Dad." Chen Jianfeng called out.

Father Chen scratched his chin, looked around the ward and then returned to his son. Only then did Father Chen realize: "Why are you here?"

"The company is on holiday, come and have a look."

"Fart! It's not a holiday or anything. What kind of holiday are you taking?" Father Chen touched his son's head, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and sighed, "Actually, I'm not sick at all, just a little dizzy. When you woke up, you went to the hospital, and it scared you, your father is very healthy, he's fine."

Father Chen had a lump in his chest and needed surgery.

The success rate of surgery is very low.

The doctor told Chen Jianfeng very clearly that the thing happened to grow on the main artery of the heart. Father Chen is old, and the operation risk is very high. After the blood vessel is cut off, an artificial blood vessel needs to be grafted. It may not be able to survive the adaptation period.

The doctor told him to be mentally prepared.

The doctor didn't dare to say these words to Father Chen.

Father Chen had a stubborn temper, and on the first day he was hospitalized, he was arguing to leave, but the doctor let him stay after some hard-talking.

Father Chen actually felt that his health was failing, but he chose not to treat it.

Chen's father did not have a regular job. For decades, he did odd jobs, moved and moved, and saved his son to send him to college.

Three years ago, he was hospitalized and had a knife, which almost wiped out his family's savings.

From then on, Father Chen never dared to go to the hospital again.

Chen Jianfeng peeled chestnuts to feed his father, but he was thinking about borrowing money.

Chen’s father’s hospitalization costs are very high this time. Chen Jianfeng is the only one at home. He can’t take care of him alone. He has to hire a nurse after the operation. Chen Jianfeng calculates the savings, which can last for a few weeks, but the operation fee is a huge expense for him. Part of the burden is covered by medical insurance, and the rest must be borrowed.

Father Chen fell asleep after eating the chestnuts. Chen Jianfeng tucked him in the quilt, walked out of the ward with his mobile phone, and went all the way to the hospital gate. Chen Jianfeng sat on the steps and dialed a number.

"What, miss me?" Liu Wei didn't know about Chen Jianfeng's return home, so after teasing him, he asked him if he was sleepy and forgot to go to work.

Chen Jianfeng's nose was sore. With his father's illness, he would not be able to go back to work in a short period of time. If it was soon, it would be a month, if it was slow... Maybe he would never go back.

When Chen Jianfeng was on the train, he once thought about resigning from the game company, and just find a job here. It is better to have income than no income, but he is not at ease when his father is alone in the hospital. He will hire a nurse sooner or later. The matter, the money cannot be saved, after all, it is still a matter of money.

Chen Jianfeng took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on, but he couldn't hold it firmly. The cigarette fell to the ground and fell into a puddle of water. Chen Jianfeng had to take out another one, took a few puffs, and then said softly: "No."

Liu Wei could hear the awkwardness in the other party's tone, and wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

"Liu Wei, I want to discuss something with you."

"Okay, what do you say?"

"Can you... lend me some money?"

Liu Wei was stunned for a while before recovering, and his tone became tense: "You...what's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine, my dad is not feeling well and needs a sum of money..."

"How much?"

Chen Jianfeng reported a number.

Liu Wei said yes.

Chen Jianfeng thanked him, and Liu Wei asked again: "Is that enough?"

Borrowing so much at one time was a big burden on Uncle Liu Wei.

Chen Jianfeng said that enough is enough, he can pay the rest by himself.

In short, the operation should be done first, and after this hurdle has been passed, we will find another way to deal with the future.

Chen Jianfeng answered the phone, and sat there in a daze, when an old lady walked up to her, looked at her for a while, and then called out, "Xiao Fengfeng?"

Chen Jianfeng raised his head and said in surprise, "Ah... Aunt Wang."

Aunt Wang touched Chen Jianfeng's face and said with a smile: "Xiao Fengfeng has really grown up, I didn't dare to recognize you when I first saw you."

Aunt Wang is their neighbor and has been watching Chen Jianfeng grow up. The two families are like a family.

Chen Jianfeng accompanied Aunt Wang into the hospital, and the two went to the ward. Aunt Wang took out an apple from her pocket and gave it to Chen Jianfeng.

Chen Jianfeng washed the apples, cut them into small pieces and shared them with her.

Father Chen was still sleeping, Aunt Wang waved to Chen Jianfeng, and the two went to the balcony, Aunt Wang took out something wrapped in floral cloth from her pocket and stuffed it to Chen Jianfeng, Chen Jianfeng knew it was RMB at a glance, of course he refused to take it, Aunt Wang He forced it into his arms, and said solemnly: "Fengfeng, don't worry about money or not when it comes to medical treatment, get what you need, and treat what you need, and don't waste money."

Chen Jianfeng's nose was sore, and his hand holding the money was shaking. Aunt Wang touched his head and told him to take good care of himself and not get tired.

Aunt Wang sat for a while, said goodbye and left. She had to go to the kindergarten to pick up her little granddaughter. Chen Jianfeng sent her all the way to the hospital gate, and bowed deeply to her back.

On Saturday morning, Chen Jianfeng was buying breakfast at the door, and someone patted him behind him. He turned his head, and it turned out to be Liu Wei.

Liu Wei raised his hand to pick off the fallen leaves on his best friend's head. After a few days of absence, Chen Jianfeng became haggard, stubble appeared on his chin, and he looked sloppy.

Chen Jianfeng was very happy. He rubbed Liu Wei's head and said with a smile, "Have you had breakfast?"

Liu Wei shook his head, and Chen Jianfeng led him to eat rice rolls. The rice roll shop in front of the hospital was very popular. The two sat down in a corner and ordered rice rolls and preserved egg porridge.

"Is your father okay?" Liu Wei faintly felt that the situation of Chen's father was very bad, but he still couldn't help asking.

Chen Jianfeng didn't want to make Liu Wei worry, so he said it briefly, and Liu Wei was secretly relieved when he heard that as long as he had the operation, he would be fine.

After breakfast, the two went to the hospital. Liu Wei took out a package from his backpack. Chen Jianfeng was startled. Everyone around turned their heads to look at this side. Such a large package must contain a lot of cash. Chen Jianfeng Before he could stop it, Liu Wei had already opened the package...

The crowd stared wide-eyed.

Inside is a box of cookies.

"Make you a snack."

"Oh..." Chen Jianfeng opened the box, took out a cookie and fed it to Liu Wei.

With the cookie in his mouth, Liu Wei took out a bank card from the hidden compartment of his backpack and gave it to Chen Jianfeng.

"Use it first." Liu Wei said.

Father Chen was in good spirits today, so he had to invite Liu Wei to have lunch at noon. In the small restaurant, Liu Wei told Father Chen about the basketball game, which made Father Chen laugh.

"It's a pity that I didn't go to the finals." Father Chen sighed and touched his precious son, "I'll watch you play basketball again next year."

In fact, Chen Jianfeng had a feeling that his father was aware of his physical condition, but he had been refusing to talk about it or treat him. Maybe this time he came to S City to see him more.

Father Chen knew in his heart that his time was running out.

Chen Jianfeng had a sore nose and went to the balcony to smoke. After smoking, he finally calmed down and sat back at the dining table to chat with them.

Chen's father had to take a nap after dinner, Liu Wei accompanied Chen Jianfeng back home, Chen Jianfeng's house remained unchanged, old TV, old fan, old sofa and old windows, the old appearance was out of tune with the surrounding residents.

Chen Jianfeng uncovered the newspaper on the bed, wiped it clean with a rag, arranged the pillows, pulled out the quilt, and said to Liu Wei, "If you don't mind, why don't you stay here tonight?"

"You didn't come back a few days ago?"

"No."

"Where do you live then?"

"Hospital." Chen Jianfeng said in a relaxed tone, "Hospitals also have beds."

"Fold the bed."

"……Um."

Liu Wei sighed, and shook Chen Jianfeng's hand: "It's really hard work for you."

Chen Jianfeng rubbed his head with a smile, his father didn't feel tired after taking care of him for so many years, and he only took care of him for a few days, so how could he feel tired?

Chen Jianfeng packed a bag of clothes, and took out the passbook and bank card from the cabinet. After saving them for so long, it was time to put them to use.

They spent two hours tidying up the house, wiping the windows and mopping the floor. When they went out, Chen Jianfeng looked back, and with a fragile closing sound, officially marked the beginning of a carefree life. Ended the period.

"Are you coming back?" Liu Wei handed him a can of Coke.

"Go back, this is my home, how can I not go back?"

"I mean, are you going back to City S?"

Chen Jianfeng drank the Coke in one gulp, wiped his lips: "I don't know."

He raised his hand and threw it, and the empty can hit the side of the trash can, bounced off the ground, and rolled back to Chen Jianfeng's feet reluctantly.

Chen Jianfeng picked up the jar, took a few steps forward and threw it into the trash can.

The empty can lies in a pile of rubbish, quietly accepting its fate.

"Maybe I won't come back." Chen Jianfeng said.

The two-day rest day passed in the blink of an eye. On Sunday evening, Chen Jianfeng sent Liu Wei to the train station.

It was still early before the drive, and the two sat side by side, chatting without saying a word, and the topic touched on the game. Chen Jianfeng hadn't played the game for several days, so he didn't know what was updated in the game, but even if he knew It's useless, he doesn't have time to play games in the short term.

"I will trouble you to play with my account." Chen Jianfeng said.

"Got it! But I'm not as good as you, don't blame me if the pk fails!"

"Ask your husband to help you go back." When Chen Jianfeng said this, he suddenly remembered a very important thing, "Didn't you have an appointment with Lulujiang today?"

"Yeah, I said no time."

"Then what did he say?"

"He said we'll make an appointment another day." Liu Wei wondered when he mentioned him, "I told him that I was a man, but... he still looks like he wants to pick on me?"

"Congratulations, you're leaving the singles!"

Liu Wei rubbed his face: "Maybe his sister is shy, so the elder brother came to pick me up and gave it to his sister?"

Chen Jianfeng laughed out loud, the announcement of ticket inspection sounded on the radio, Liu Wei stood up with his backpack on his back, and Chen Jianfeng helped him straighten his wrinkled clothes.

"I'll come back next week." Liu Wei said.

"Don't come, it's so far away, why are you running?" Chen Jianfeng walked side by side with him to the ticket gate, Liu Wei checked the ticket, Chen Jianfeng was stopped, so he had to stand aside.

Liu Wei entered the gate and turned to look at him. Chen Jianfeng waved his hands and watched Liu Wei drift away.

The operation time arranged by the doctor is at the end of the month. Father Chen's illness cannot be delayed and must be treated as soon as possible.

After the operation fee was settled, Chen Jianfeng felt relieved. The rest, the hospitalization fee after the operation, and the nutrition expenses for his father's food and drink, regardless of food and housing, were all expensive expenses. This illness cost the family money again When it was free, Chen Jianfeng was going to find a casual job nearby to do it first.

He found a temporary job as a waiter in a restaurant. The content of the job was very simple, just serving and passing dishes. He worked for half a day, and the salary was settled every week. There was no labor contract, and of course there would be no five social insurance and one housing fund.

This job is the most suitable for him.

Noon is the busiest time for the restaurant. After registering the menu, Chen Jianfeng heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Are there any vacancies?" the man asked.

Chen Jianfeng's heart suddenly beat violently as if it was about to explode. He had never realized that he missed someone so much. In fact, when he was on the train, he couldn't stop thinking about that person, wanting to hear Listen to his voice, hold his hand...

Chen Jianfeng turned around happily: "President Wu, why are you here..."

The uncle tilted his head: "What?"

"Wrong person, I'm sorry."

"Are there any vacancies?" The uncle looked around, "It was hard to find a place to eat, but it was full again?"

"There is another seat upstairs." Chen Jianfeng took him upstairs and arranged him in the empty seat by the window. The uncle's voice was very similar to Wu Di's, but if you listen carefully, you will find the difference.

Chen Jianfeng felt that he was really affectionate. He was a big boss, jumping up and down so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, so how could he have time to meddle in his business?

The enthusiasm for eating gradually subsided, and Chen Jianfeng finally had time to drink water. He sat in the corner, drinking water, and opened the address book. His finger rested on Wu Di's number. Finally, he moved his finger and exited the interface.

"Xiao Chen." A waiter ran over clutching his stomach, "Help me receive it, I'll go to the bathroom."

"Go, go." Chen Jianfeng smiled and waved his hands, putting the phone in his pocket.

Wu Di was looking at the menu. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a waiter approaching, so he read the name of the dish without looking up.

"That's all." Wu Di closed the menu and raised his head.

Chen Jianfeng lowered his head and smiled, "Don't you want tomato eggs?"

Wu Di: "..."

There was an extra plate of tomato eggs on the dining table.

Chen Jianfeng invited Wu Di to eat.

"Not bad." Wu Di commented, "It's more delicious than your cooking, you should learn from it."

Chen Jianfeng smiled and said nothing, so he wouldn't tell the other party that he borrowed a stove to fry it.

The stove in the restaurant is big and the pot is full of gas, so it is naturally more fragrant than the one at home.

The restaurant in the afternoon was empty, the front desk was lazily sleeping on the table, Wu Di only picked tomato eggs to eat, and Chen Jianfeng put a chopstick of green vegetables into the bowl for him.

With a mouthful of vegetables in his mouth, Wu Di asked vaguely, "What is Ni doing here? Don't you need to take care of Ni Papa?"

"I'll be off work in a while." Chen Jianfeng said, "Dad will go for a check-up in the morning and come out at noon. There are nurses and doctors here, so everything will be fine."

Wu Di hummed and buried his head in eating, while Chen Jianfeng propped his chin to watch him eat.

Wu Di was taken aback, and stared fiercely: "Look at that!"

"You look better than a fart." Chen Jianfeng took off the rice grains from Wu Di's lips. According to the plot on TV, he should put them in his mouth. Wu Di also thought so, so he grabbed Chen Jianfeng's hand...with a tissue Erase that grain of rice.

"I thought you would eat it in your mouth." Chen Jianfeng said, "It's always played like that on TV."

"It should be you who eat." Wu Di corrected.

"Well, I'll eat it next time." Chen Jianfeng looked at the other's oily lips and licked his lips.

Wu Di felt that this meal was too dangerous.

After finishing the meal carefully, Wu Di put down the tissue after confirming that there were no grains of rice left on his mouth.

Chen Jianfeng went to change clothes, while Wu Di drank tea leisurely outside.

Chen Jianfeng came out after changing his clothes, and said to him, "Let's go."

"Why didn't you change just now?" Wu Di sneered, "If you have time to sit, don't you have time to change?"

Chen Jianfeng teased: "I'm so busy looking at you, where do I have time to change?"

"Hmph, look at me? What's so good about me?"

"You handsome."

"Well, you have a good eye." Wu Di picked up his luggage and went to check out. The girl at the front desk pointed at Chen Jianfeng and said that he had already paid.

Wu Di felt sorry and bought Chen Jianfeng a cute lot.

Chen Jianfeng held Wu Di's luggage in one hand and ice cream in the other, and said gratefully, "Mr. Wu, thank you for coming to see us."

The ice cream stuck to the corner of his mouth, Wu Di stretched out his finger to wipe it off for him, but he suddenly came to his senses after stretching it over, it was too late to withdraw his hand, so the smart Wu Di poked him on the face instead.

Chen Jianfeng: "???"

"Well...it's quite elastic." Wu Di commented, "It's just a little thinner."

Chen Jianfeng ate the crispy skin of the cone into his mouth, puffed his cheeks and said seriously: "Well, if you like it... poke it again? It's bulging~"

Wu Di: "..."

Father Chen ate half a vat of porridge, and his mouth was dull and he wanted to eat pickles. Before the operation, the doctor asked to control his diet, mainly light. Father Chen waited for the doctor to leave, and searched for pickles by himself. , looked up and saw his son entering the door, and quickly asked him: "Jianfeng, where is the pickle?"

"This..." Chen Jianfeng put down his luggage, took out a pack of pickles from the cabinet, picked a small root and put it in Dad's bowl.

Father Chen pouted: "Only one?"

"Dad, the doctor said that it shouldn't be too salty, just one stick will satisfy your hunger."

After Wu Di chatted on the phone, he walked into the room, just in time to see Father Chen, like an old child, yelling at his son for pickles, so Chen Jianfeng had to give him another one, put away the pickles and said, "Enough is enough, I can't eat any more! If you eat it again, I will throw it away!"

"Stinky boy! How dare you threaten your dad!" Dad Chen gave his son a shudder, afraid that it would hurt him, so he rubbed it gently again.

Chen Jianfeng was like a big, well-behaved dog, stretching out his head to be rubbed by him.

When Father Chen saw Wu Di by the door, his eyes lit up: "Oh! Xiao Wu is here!"

The nurse who delivered the medicine glanced at Wu Di: "Hey, is this also Uncle Chen's son?"

Father Chen laughed loudly: "This is Xiao Wu who lives with my son! Their relationship is really good!"

The nurse felt that she knew something important. She looked at Wu Di, and then her eyes fell on Chen Jianfeng.

Chen Jianfeng touched his nose and hummed.

Passing nurse a: (⊙▽⊙)! ! !

Passing nurse b: (⊙▽⊙)! ! !

Aunt mopping the floor: (⊙▽⊙)! ! !

Wu Di: "..."
